In June of 2018 we acquired a Freefly Systems Alta 8 to go with our Movi Pro.​

HeliCam has added Drone Lighting to Our List of Provided Services

We currently have two systems ready to deploy; A 9 chip LED array in a stabilized gimbal that is rated at 900 watts or 124,000 lumans and a 6 chip LED array in a stabilized gimbal that is rated at 600 watts or 83,000 lumans.

NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY

We now have a DJI Inspire 2 with the X5S camera mount in the stable. A very capable little machine in the hands of an experienced pilot and crew. We have the full line of Olympus lenses to go with it. It also has the Prores and Cinema DNG RAW licenses.

Cameras

HeliCam Aerial Media Service's primary camera these days when we are not shooting with the Alexa Mini, Red Epics, Dragons, Canon's C500, C300 Mark ii or C100 is the Panasonic AU-EVA1. As many of you know this is a very capable camera that shoots 400 Mbs All intra 4K footage and provides a wide variety of formats and frame rates up to 240 frames per second in variable frame rate mode for slow motion.

We recently got to fly the Black Magic Ursa Mini on a Music Video shoot. Love the Global Shutter, the huge body, not so much. It is a pain to deal with on a Movi.

For VR cameras we have flown the Nokia Ozo VR camera along with the new Insta 360 camera.

Downlink System

For downlink systems HeliCam has three of the Amimon Connex HD units for our Aerial Movi Pro and M5 Gimbals. We are currently providing a SmallHD 702 Bright monitor for Production so that they can see everything as it is happening live. We can also connect a BNC cable to our monitor that can be run to the video village. If running a cable is not possible then we have a third Connex Receiver that we can station near the video village that you can get a feed off of.

HeliCam's Van and Lipo Battery Charging Station

Our 15 passenger Ford E350 van has a unique charging station on the front of the van coupled to a Honda EU3000IS inverter that allows us to keep our Lipo batteries charging at high charge rates even when we are traveling from location to location on a tight shoot schedule.
